School Pictures, Windham Trip, Adjective Day and other class info.

Coming home tonight are school pictures and a flier about Adjective Day.

Students who purchased photos should have packages coming home tonight. If you know you ordered and didn't get one, please email me or call the school to let us know. Sometimes Lifetouch accidentally sends them to other classes. I can put out a call to other teachers if this is the case.

Adjective Day will be on Oct. 31. It is NOT a Halloween costume day. I am challenging kids to use things they already have at home and to not bug parents to buy things.  A lot of kids were interested in "athletic" as their adjective. When you are brainstorming, please try and come up with something unique so our day isn't just a sea of sports jerseys. We will do some brainstorming on Thursday or Friday as well. Hopefully we can have a large assortment of adjectives. We may even join other third grade classes for an adjective parade!

Reminder to get your permission slips and money in for the Windham Field Trip. We are going next Monday, October 28th and slips need to be here before students can go on the trips. I will send a second one home tomorrow for anyone who might need an extra. Money can come later if necessary, but the kids can't go unless we have signed permission.

We are finally getting into the swing of our normal schedule and the class is settling in really well. I'm so proud of the work they've done this year! Reading Workshop is taking shape nicely. Please ask them about the Options Board and some of the activities they are doing during this time. We have also started WIN time and are working on reading fluency. Also, our Math Switch time is beginning and students have been broken into groups to work on things they need extra help in as well. It's a busy time of year in third grade!

As always, thanks for your support!
